These are accounted treifah in animals: 1) [An animal] whose esophagus is punctured, 2) or whose trachea is severed, 3) [if] the membrane of the brain was punctured, 4) [if] the heart was punctured into its cavity, 5) [if] the spine was broken and its cord severed, 6) [if] the liver was removed and nothing remains of it, 7) [if] the lung was punctured 8) or [if] it was deficient — R’ Shimon says: [Not] unless the penetrates to the bronchi; 9) [if] the abomasum was punctured, 10) [if] the gall bladder was punctured, 11) [if] the intestines were punctured, 12) [if] the inner paunch was punctured, 13) or [if] the greater part of the outer one was torn — R’ Yehudah says: In a large animal a handbreadth, and in a small animal the greater part; 14) [if] the omasum or 15) the reticulum was punctured to the outside, 16) [if] it fell from a roof, 17) [if] most of its ribs were broken, 18) or one that was clawed by a wolf. R’ Yehudah says: One that was clawed by a wolf [is treifah] in the case of small animals, but [only if] clawed by a lion in the case of large animals; one that was clawed by a netz in the case of small fowl, or one that was clawed by a gass in the case of large fowl. This is the general rule: If an animal with a similar defect cannot live, it is treifah.

And the following are kosher in animals: [If] the trachea was punctured or slit. How much may be missing? Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel says: Up to the size of an Italian issar. [If] the skull was cracked but the membrane of the brain was not punctured, [if] the heart was punctured but not into its cavity, [if] the spinal column was broken but the cord was not severed, [if] the liver was removed but an olive-sized piece remains, [if] the omasum and the reticulum were punctured into one another, [if] the spleen was removed, [if] the kidneys were removed, [if] the lower jaw was removed, [if] its uterus was removed, or [if] the lung is shriveled through non- human agency. One whose skin is flayed — R’ Meir declares it fit, and the Sages declare it unfit.
